snub to Mcclellan, in Il measure, ana re-
sentei it in various ways, as was claimed
Early in August, 1862, Gen. Mcclellan deter
mined, from his camp at halrlsons landing,
on the James. to make All attack on itich-
mond Hooker and Sedgwick took possession
of Malvern Hill on the 4th, and made re
connoissance toward Richmond. Officers
and men were in fighting trim and enthuSi-
astic But suddenly, the night Of Aug t.
there came an order from Halleck for Nc
Clelan to leave the James, and wlthdra"
from the peninsula with his whole army;
Mcclellan demonstrated earnestly. Both
sides of the James We're in his hands, ana ne
could now attack Richmond with good hope
of success. He begged TO be permitted 70 90

To McClellan's remonStrance AGAINST the
order Haleck telegraphed only: The order
will not be rescinded and you will be ex-
tected to execute it with all possible prompt
ness
Accordingly, with a heavy heart, MrClel-
ian prepared to move his army out OF the
peninsula to Acqua creek and nearer Pope.
II Mcclellan and Halleck had only known
it. Richmond could then have been taken
almost without blow, for by the 18th OF
August that city had been nearly stripped OF
troops
The next campaign in Virginia was to be
fought in q region south and somewhat east
of where he last one had closed Ill the Shen-
andoah valley.
The reader will observe on the map the
town of Gordousville, on the Orange and
Alexandria raiIroad The COnfederate~ were
well informed as to Federal movements.
They early learned that Pope's forces were
concentrating near Gordonsville This was
a railroad center, and kept Richmond in com
munlcation with the region both To the west

Manassas.
1t was quarter of century ago on June
&c that Mai. Gen. John Pope was appointed
to command the Army of Virginia. The
scattered forces of Banks, Fremont and
Mcdowell that had been dernoralized by the
movements of Stonewali Jackson Ill the
Shenandoah valley were to TO be united INTO
orne army, the Army Of Virginia, and put
under one head That head was Gen. Pope
There were three corps under the COM
nanders named Fremont resigned when
Pope was appointed. and his corps--the First
was given to Gen. Franz Sigel. Banks COM
manded the Second corps, Mcdowell the
Third. The three contained altogether not
ouite 80 600 men. But one marked feature
of this Army of Virginia was the great num-
BIER of stragglers connected with 1t. After
the second batth of Bull Run Pope himself
complained of It and said half the great
diminutiOn of bis forces there was caused by
'stragglng and Skuking from the army.

Pope assumed his. new duties with enthusi-
asn From the first he and Mcclellan diff
fered as to the conduct of the war before
Richmond. Pope especially opposed the re-
treat to the james, and thought that instead
the Army of the Potomac should seek to re-
treat by the north bank of the Chickahominy
and Hanover Court House. The differences
became serious. At last both generals re-
ouested that commander in chief be APP
nointed over them and over all the armies
This was done. and July % Gen Henry w.
Hai,erk became commander in chief of all
the forces of the United States
Pope, on taking command OF the Virginia
army. announced that his headquarters
would be i'm the saddle. He further issued
proclamation to the soldiers:
II have come from the west he told
chem. "where we have always seen the backs
of our enemies, from an army whose business
has been to seek she adversary and beat him
when found, whose policy has been attack
and not defense
Gen. Pope issued orders from Washington
t1s
the last Of July
The orders he issued have been criticised
severely One required troops to subsist on
the country as far as was practicable. An
other declared that non-combatants in the
neighborhood of the army should be held re-
sponsible for damage to military property,
guerrilla attacks on soldiers, and all acts OF
private hostility. 4 third bulletin ordered
that all the male inhabitants within the lines
of his army should take the oath of ale
glance to the United States government.
Those who refused were to be sent out of the
lines Whoever took the oath and violated
it was to be shot. The Confederate govern
ment had issued orders similar to these in
Tennessee nearly year before,
Pope began military operations by bring
ing the detachments of his army nearer to-
gether, making line some forty miles long
Sigels and Banks corps were posted at Sper-

Aug. 9, 1862, the battle of Cedar Mountain,
the first in Popes Virginia campaign was
fought. Sgel had been ordered to march to
Culpepper Aug. s. but mstook bis orders and
did not reach there till the afternoon of the
9th That afternoon the battle opened with
an attack from Ewel;s division on Banks.
Banks held possession of hill near Cedar
mountain Ewell planted battery or Cedar
mountain to rake the Union forces. Part of
Ewells and Jackson's divisions took position
on ridge opposite the hill occupied by the
Federal troops The battle began with a
sharp artillery fire at o'clock, A corn field
and wheat field lay between the two armies
Jacksons old troops, called sometimes Jack
sons own" sometimes the "Stonewall bri-
gade." were commanded at Cedar mountain
by Gen. Winder He was killed early in the
action and his command devolved on Gen.
TaliaferTo.
Cedar mountain is called by the Confeder-
ates Slaughter mountain. Banks men were
posted on the hill mentioned and on the plain
near Cedar run, a stream crossing the Gull
pepper road The attack was ordered by
Stonewall Jackson, who, in his report, says
that, finding only a part of Pope's army at
Culpepper Court House he hoped, through
the blessing of Providence, to defeat it before
re-enforcements came up. In this fight Jack
son had his own old division and those of Hill
and Ewell, nearly $4,000 men in all, the best
and most experienced soldiers Of the army of
the Confederacy. Banks had less than 1900
men, consisting Of Williams and Augur's di-
visions, with Gordons brigade, not quite
1,5O0, posted as reserve ON the extreme
right.

calf in its infancy had licked the fill-
ing out of a custard pie that his
mother had made for him and set out
on a bench to cool, and it had ran
away when he was leading it by
rope, and dragged him through three
distinct mud puddles and five ripe Gu
cumbers; and when he resolved, as he
did resolve. that if his life were spared
he would protect the calf from the
turtle, it was not that he loved the calf
more, but that he loved the turtle less.
But argument was lostu upon the calf,
and it was too tame to be chased; and
as Bic was looking for the second
stake, it spied the turtle, and witlNell
the curiosity of the four-legged, puAts
head down to smell so unusual sight.
AT that instant Bile glanced toward it.
and uttering an uproarous war-whoop
ran up to the calf and bestowed upon
it lusty kick.
The calf fed, and its nose was
saved; but the kick brought the back
breadth of Bije's blouse against the
leg he stood on with such force that
the leg lost its footing, and BIZ was
thrown, q confused heap, into the face
and eyes of the turtle. In falling he
had forgotten that interesting reptile,
and lay for a moment nursing the con-
viction that all his bones were broken
and himself unconscious, when the
turtle snapped its teeth together in the
flesh of his favorite thigh. His first
Mortified impression was,that the Great
ure had bitten clear through him in
five or six directions, but really it had
taken only one bite, and that was not
so deep as it was lasting.
As Bile rose, the turtles weight tore
its teeth out of his tender flesh, but it
maintained its hold in the firm stuff of
his trousers and blouse, and Bile after
one look down at the monster dangling
at his side, lifted up the opposite side
of the skirt of his garment and dashed
off toward home, shrieking at every
bound.
His mother, returning from her
berry-picking, came out when she
heard him, and staying him in his mad
career, unbuttoned his blouse and
trousers and slipped them down and
off; and Bile watched her while she
carried them to the swill barrel and
lowered the turtle into its depths.
Feeling itself in its "native clement"
it let so its hold, and began forthwith
to fatten for Bije's birthday dinner
